Detailed Solution

The Church levied taxes on the peasants, known as tithes.
The clergy and nobility, who made up the first two estates, were born with some privileges. The exemption from paying state taxes was the most significant of these. The nobles also held feudal privileges. They also demanded payments from the peasants, known as feudal dues. Peasants were required to provide services to the lord by working in his fields and home, enlisting in the army, or helping to construct highways. All members of the third estate were ultimately required to pay taxes to the government. The Church also levied fees on the peasants, known as tithes. These included indirect taxes paid on everyday household items like salt and a direct tax known as taille.
